Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 lt water
  • 600 g fresh strawberries, chopped ((21 oz))
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 200 g caster sugar ((7 oz))

Instruction

  • In a large blender add half the strawberries and half the water and blend until pureed.
  • Fold in the remaining strawberries and water, add the sugar and lemon juice and blend until creamy and well combined.
  • Transfer the granita mixture into a large metal container ( it will shorten freezing times than using a plastic one) cover, and transfer in the freezer.
  • Refrigerate for half an hour, then stir vigorously the mixture to break any ice crystals.
  • Repeat every 30 minutes, for 2-3 times, or until your granita has reached a velvety sorbet-like texture. Alternatively, you can blend the mixture with a hand blender every 45 min.
  • For the ice cream maker version:
  • Follow step 1.
  • Transfer the granita mixture into a cooled ice cream maker bucket.
  • Start the machine and allow it to work the mixture for 30 min or until it reaches a creamy sorbet-like icy texture.
  • Once ready, it's best to eat your granita straight away.
